with a garment, of a receptacle into which the improvement,

garment may be packed, and which is so attached to the garment that its mouth will be presented upward when the garment is worn, so that it may be used-as a pocket. 7

The invention also consists in the combination, with a garment, of areceptacle adapted to receive it, having the inner side of the garment secured to the receptacle on the interior of the latter only and within its mouth, the receptacle being otherwise unconnected with the garment, and the edges of the receptacle being left free from the garment, so that they may be drawn over the garment when it is packed. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of a ladys water-proof cloak embodying my improvement, a portion being broken away, the better to illustrate the Fig.2 is a sectional view of the receptacle, which is attached to the cloak, the cloak being shown as rolled up in it; and Fig. 3 represents a modification of the improvement. Fig. dis a vertical sectionthrough a portion of the body of the cloak and the re ceptacle or bag 13. Fig. 5 is a modified vertical section of the same.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

A designates the cloak. It may be made of any suitable materialsuch, for instance, as india-rubber or india-rubber cloth. It is shown as provided with a hood, a, as usual.

13 designates a receptacle, into which the cloak may be rolled when not in use. This receptacle may be made of india-rubbcr cloth, and is shown as provided with a flap, 1), for closing its mouth. The receptacle is attached to the cloak, and when the cloak is worn the mouth of the receptacle is presented upward, i

so that it may serve as a pocket. As shown, it is arranged sothat its inner side is adjacent to the inner side of the cloak, and it is attached by sewing or otherwise at about the point where the flap b extends'from it. It will hole or strings, c, or any other suitable con-' trivance. Owing to the attachment of the recc ptacle with its inner side opposite the inner sides of the cloak, the exterior or ornamental and water-proofed'side of the receptacle will be exposed when the cloak is packed within it.. I consider the attachment of the receptacle and cloak within the'edg'es of the receptacle of great importance. If I wish to provide the mouth of the receptacle with a drawstring for securingit closed, I shall preferably provide the inside of the garment to which the receptacle is to be attached with a flap, cl, (see Fig.,3,) and fasten the lower end of this flap to the bottom of the receptacle, leaving the edges of the receptacle free. The garment can then be 'rolled down into the lower part of the receptacle. may be desirable, one edge of the receptacle may in these examples of my improvement be temporarily secured to the ga-rinent-as, for instance, by buttons or like devices; The receptacle would then lie more smoothly against the garment.

Although I have described the improvement in connection with waterproof garments only, I may embody it in other garments.

I do not confine myself to the particular kind of receptacle I have shown and described, or to any particular mode of attachment or point of location, only that it must be on the inside of the cloak, and must be so attached as to act as a pocket when the garment is in use and as a receptacle or bag to hold the garment and other articles, if desired, when the garment is not in use. a The receptacle may be made of any size or shape and have one or 7 more flaps.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a garment, of a If for any reason it 'reoeptacle into which the garment may be packed, and which is so attached to the garment that its mouth will be presented upward when the garment is worn, so that it may be used as a pocket, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with a garment, of a receptacle adapted to receive it, having the inner side of the garment secured to the receptacle on the interior of the latter only and within its mouth, the receptacle being otherwise unconnected with the garment, and the edges of the receptacle being left free from the garment, so that they may be drawn over the garment when it is packed, substantially as specified.

and also as a receptacle. or traveling-bag for carrying the cloak and other articles when the garment is not in use.
